My concern has always been that people who I portray, or the professions that I portray, are not embarrassed by my portrayal of them.

Violence is used to portray what happens in a film. It only helps portray the actors and what they do. I think it is more about the story, when you have something to play off of.

Developing Their Defensive Team
Why are people quick to run,
To someone with a telling...
Of what is being done to them.
As they portray themselves as victims.
Few people would ask,
What it was they've done.
And why they were chosen to become,
'Willing' victims.
I use to take sides with people who cried.
Those who confide in me with their version,
Of reality.
But most folks are just not that honest,
When developing their defensive team.
Only to eventually find themselves quarantined.
Truth has a way to reveal,
What from others is intentionally meant to go unseen.
Or heard from one who attempts to another to demean.
Why are people quick to run,
To someone with a telling...
Of what is being done to them.
As they portray themselves as victims.
Why?
Because they are bona fide liars.

Guilt Rides Attached To The Backs
Guilt rides attached to the backs,
Of those who found ways to portray themselves...
As innocent victims.
The very ones who find time to solicit others,
To betray without delay a doing done to charade.
For purposes to see others fail they do this.
To only discover there is no escaping from their tricks.
Or erase every evil and heartbreak they have created...
Placed undeserving on someone's path.
With an infliction of mistreatment.
Guilt rides attached to the backs,
Of those who found ways to portray themselves...
As innocent victims.
And nothing can or will ever repay,
For the suffering they have caused and intentionally done.

~ Pero Yo Te Saludo Madre ~
Since there can be no cozy place
God devised womb in Mothers.
Since no first immunization can be synthesized
God created colostrums in Mothers.
Since no nutrient can be ever chemicalized
God sprung nectarine spring in Mother.
Since no freshener can be so allayer
God formulated corpusfreshener in Mothers.
Since no smile can be so captivating
God designed smiles in Mothers.
Since no toy gizmo ever give comfy
God crafted caresses in Mothers.
Since there is no better soother
God voxed berceuse in Mother.
Since no poet can portray attributes of human
God imaged unportrayable Mothers.
All hymn psalm
All leaves are paper
All sermons parables
All sages seers literati
Stumble bumble swag to
Portray greatness and
Brilliances of Mothers.
Holiest Whole
Wholesome Whole
You’re embodiment of.
Since God couldn’t be
Present everywhere
All Highest created Mothers.
I Ms. Nivedita
Try vainly
To portray You
Condone this self but.

It seems like there's a lot of people who just do not understand satire. They think it's weird. There's people who just don't understand you portray something or just explore a character, it means you're condoning it, saying this is the way to live.

Mallerizers
There is nothing more enjoyable to observe,
Than those finding new ways...
To portray themselves as victims.
And there are lucrative industries,
Designed to keep their needs met.
When times were basic and simple,
With little being processed to digest...
To maximize the wasting of time.
People seem to have had enjoyable lives.
And healthy mentalities then.
And then the onslaught of quickness was introduced.
Sleaze and the filth of it and the convenience of fast food.
Producing minds addicted to chemicals.
And remedies to affix new seductions with cures attached,
To match cravings that appeal to diagnosed ailments.
There is nothing more enjoyable to observe,
Than those finding new ways...
To portray themselves as victims.
And there are lucrative industries,
Designed to keep their needs met.
On all levels were 'mallerizers' who have been hypnotized shop!
Nagged and dragging in sight with them are their 'mallitites'.
Note:
Mallerizers? Those who habitually shop in malls.
Those in training? Mallitites. Children of the mallerizers.

In My Heart You Belong
You are missed.
And,
In my heart you are there strong.
You are missed.
And,
In my heart you belong.
You are missed.
And,
In my heart you are there strong.
You are missed.
And,
In my heart you belong.
I hear people always say,
They hope somebody stays away.
But in my heart you are there strong.
I am not one who will portray,
I feel no pain and it's okay.
'Cause in my heart you belong.
I have weeped a week.
'Cause in my heart,
You are still strong.
Not a wink of sleep.
'Cause in my heart you belong.
I hear people always say,
They hope somebody stays away.
But in my heart you are there strong.
I am not one who will portray,
I feel no pain and it's okay.
'Cause in my heart you belong.
You are missed.
And,
In my heart you are there strong.
You are missed.
And,
In my heart you belong.

Behind The Smile
Rick astley
(chorus)
Behind the smile that I portray
I am saddened every day
My eyes are sore with endless nights of crying
I hope that you dont feel this way
My heart fills with tears when you pass me by
You wont look me in the eye
Dont you think that its a crying shame
We must play these silly games
The pain in my heart that shows were apart
Is growing stronger day by day
(repeat chorus)
If you think that I have done you wrong
I wont try to change your mind
But try to think of the love that we once had
And maybe things wont seem so bad
The memories of those times are vivid in my mind
And yet they slip away as time goes on
Take me back tonight
Hold me close and tight
Forever I will be true
Behind the smiles that we portray
There is nothing hidden away
Our eyes are sore because we are crying
I hope well always feel this way
